Life Uncommon - Some words from a woman I love

As I am going on vacation for 10 days ( Santa Barbara, Los Angeles and Chicago), I decided to drop a few lines here before I go. And I couldn't finish the year better than writing a few words from a woman I really love...


"It says that I have an ideal for who I'd like to become, that I have a standard I'm striving for," she notes. "And that having a standard is a lonely thing, because it's nobody's task but yours, a standard that you have to try to rise to constantly." - Jewel

Life Uncommon

Don't worry mother, it'll be alright

And don't worry sister, say your prayers and sleep right

It'll be fine lover of mine

It'll be just fine

Lend your voices only to sounds of freedom

No longer lend you strength to that which you wish to be free from

Fill your lives with love and bravery

And you shall lead a live uncommon

I've heard you anguish

I've heard you hearts cry out

We are tired, we are weary, but we aren't worn out

set down you chains, until only faith remains

Set down you chains

And lend your voices only to sounds of freedom

No longer lend your strength to that

which you wish to be free from

Fill you lives with love and bravery

And we shall lead a life uncommon

There are plenty of people who pray for peace

But if praying were enough it would have come to be

Let your words enslave no one and the heavens will hush themselves

To hear out voices ring out clear

with sounds of freedom

sounds of freedom

Come on you unbelievers, move out of the way

there is a new army coming and we are armed with faith

To live, we must give

To live

And lend out voices only to sounds of freedom

No longer lend out strength to that which we with to be free from

Fill your lives with love and bravery

And we shall lead a life uncommon
